282560 Leslie Combemale Cinema Siren Fresh — 2019-07-26T23:27:23.000Z 2019-07-26 23:27:23 [The film] ends the series so beautifully, and shows such reverence for the books that inspired and affected them so deeply.

282563 Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News Fresh — 2019-05-07T23:57:07.000Z 2019-05-07 23:57:07 This final chapter of the beloved franchise is a satisfying end to the series, even if it falls short of the promise teased in its slightly superior predecessor.
282564 Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net Fresh A 2019-04-04T00:33:19.000Z 2019-04-04 00:33:19 It's true it is very different from the book... Nevertheless, I like this movie. I think it ends the series in a very satisfying way.

282566 Abbie Bernstein Assignment X Fresh A- 2019-02-13T02:04:02.000Z 2019-02-13 02:04:02 To those who have loved this journey throughout, it seems a perfect last look at this magical world with a human heart.

282569 Annalee Newitz io9.com Fresh — 2018-05-23T00:57:13.000Z 2018-05-23 00:57:13 Like the very best fairy tales, Harry Potter offers us a burning vision of our own world, with goodness and evil helpfully labeled.
282570 Rebecca Cusey WORLD Fresh — 2018-03-22T00:02:13.000Z 2018-03-22 00:02:13 The effects and acting are top notch, with a vast cast providing well-developed background characters.
282571 Kiko Martinez San Antonio Current Fresh B+ 2018-01-26T21:57:36.000Z 2018-01-26 21:57:36 The danger is seething as both sides battle between extravagant set pieces and eye-catching special effects.

282574 Julie E. Washington Cleveland Plain Dealer Fresh A 2017-08-17T18:12:54.000Z 2017-08-17 18:12:54 Certainly Hollywood will circle back to this beloved fantasy series, but it's hard to imagine that any future film adaptations could be more lovingly crafted, or more beloved by fans.
282575 Roe McDermott Hot Press Fresh 3/5 2016-03-11T15:03:29.000Z 2016-03-11 15:03:29 Not the most exciting film of the series, but Yates manages to establish the mature, sombre tone needed to lead into the final film.
282576 Kate Muir The Times (UK) Fresh 4/5 2014-11-18T15:02:58.000Z 2014-11-18 15:02:58 The final instalment, Deathly Hallows Part 2, is a bravura duel between good and evil. It's also a cathartic, occasionally clunky nostalgiafest.
282577 John Serba MLive.com Fresh 3/4 2014-11-18T15:01:58.000Z 2014-11-18 15:01:58 Come the conclusion, tears no doubt will be shed, probably by those more devoted than I. Whether they cry because of overwhelming emotion or in mourning an era's end, I'm not sure. Probably both.
282578 Carol Cling Las Vegas Review-Journal Fresh B- 2014-11-18T14:59:13.000Z 2014-11-18 14:59:13 Radcliffe retains an endearingly owlish demeanor. But he also captures the quiet determination of a young man determined to confront his life-or-death destiny -- making the world safe for good folks, wizards and Muggles alike -- with admirable aplomb.
282579 Brad Keefe Columbus Alive Fresh 3.5/4 2014-11-18T14:56:38.000Z 2014-11-18 14:56:38 It's a bittersweet end as the final adaptation of the beloved books hits the big screen. Expect tears, both from nostalgia and some truly amazing storytelling.
282580 Christopher Kelly Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Fresh 4/5 2014-11-18T14:55:39.000Z 2014-11-18 14:55:39 For 10 years and eight films we've gotten to watch these young actors grow as people, as performers and as characters. It has been a true coming-of-age saga, in the fullest and most moving sense of the term.
282581 Michael Smith Tulsa World Fresh — 2014-11-18T14:52:06.000Z 2014-11-18 14:52:06 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 is a fine finish to a franchise that most, including myself, wish would never end.
282582 Sean Burns Philadelphia Weekly Fresh — 2014-11-18T14:45:12.000Z 2014-11-18 14:45:12 It comes to an end with class, dignity and a fair amount of relief on the part of yours truly.
282583 Mal Vincent The Virginian-Pilot Fresh — 2014-11-18T14:44:35.000Z 2014-11-18 14:44:35 Goodbye, Harry. You certainly know how to make an exit.

282585 Aaron Mesh Willamette Week Fresh — 2014-11-18T14:39:36.000Z 2014-11-18 14:39:36 It unspools like gangbusters.
282586 Cleaver Patterson Starburst Rotten 6/10 2014-11-18T14:37:51.000Z 2014-11-18 14:37:51 It certainly went out making its presence felt, but in my opinion, though there were explosions aplenty, a few deaths, and everyone inevitably ended up with who they should, I felt it ended with more of a fizz than a bang.
282587 David Elliott San Diego Reader Fresh 3/5 2014-11-18T14:25:24.000Z 2014-11-18 14:25:24 The grand finish, if not always inspired, feels necessary. In a sustained, imaginative way, this is the best of any movie series.
282588 Ryan Gilbey New Statesman Fresh — 2014-11-18T14:23:53.000Z 2014-11-18 14:23:53 The film is strong enough to have the unusual effect of improving its predecessors in the memory simply by association.
282589 Cameron Williams The Popcorn Junkie Rotten 2.5/5 2014-11-18T14:23:11.000Z 2014-11-18 14:23:11 Sadly, though, the finale isn't the spectacle the series really deserves, and I feel fans will gloss over the film's dull points and poor direction in favour of facing the reality that 'the Deathly Hallows Part 2' is an average affair.
282590 Chris Tinkham Under the Radar Fresh — 2014-11-18T14:21:31.000Z 2014-11-18 14:21:31 Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 lives up to the standard set by its predecessors, remaining true to their spirit while also delivering an epic battle royal between Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes).
282591 Paul Whitington Irish Independent Fresh 3/5 2014-11-18T14:19:29.000Z 2014-11-18 14:19:29 As to the three principals, they've grown up with the Potter saga and have done so reasonably gracefully.
282592 Alynda Wheat People Magazine Fresh 3.5/4 2014-11-18T14:15:00.000Z 2014-11-18 14:15:00 When the time comes to face Harry's fate, Radcliffe confidently, casually shows how much he's matured as an actor.
282593 Toby Young The Spectator Rotten — 2014-11-18T14:13:28.000Z 2014-11-18 14:13:28 I must confess to being completely unmoved by the Harry Potter phenomenon. The books strike me as derivative and bland, and the film versions are, if anything, even worse.
282594 Luke Buckmaster The Daily Review/Crikey Fresh — 2014-11-18T14:11:10.000Z 2014-11-18 14:11:10 When Yates gets it right, Deathly Hallows: Part Two roars with majestic otherworldly oomph.

It was one of the most reliable film franchises ever to go beyond a trilogy, even at its spottiest, and I imagine that an entire generation will look back on it with fond memories.
282596 Katherine Monk Canada.com Fresh 5/5 2013-11-19T14:18:59.000Z 2013-11-19 14:18:59 Yates strikes a beautiful harmony to make the most of the storytelling and the technology.

282598 Chris Knight National Post Fresh 4/4 2013-11-19T14:10:01.000Z 2013-11-19 14:10:01 The seven films to date have earned almost a billion dollars each, so it's obvious their followers are legion. But this is also a series that takes itself seriously, never more so than in this, the deathly finale.

282629 Brian Gibson Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Rotten — 2011-07-22T19:03:23.000Z 2011-07-22 19:03:23 There's visual overstatement, stone-heavy exposition, self-seriousness (masquerading as maturity), CGI-laden plot (falling short of spectacle), and predictable action sequences.
282630 Robert Roten Laramie Movie Scope Fresh B 2011-07-22T11:01:24.000Z 2011-07-22 11:01:24 Thank god it is finally over.

282635 Kelly Vance East Bay Express Fresh — 2011-07-21T15:27:59.000Z 2011-07-21 15:27:59 Possibly the weakest entry in the series.
282636 Lori Hoffman Atlantic City Weekly Fresh 4/4 2011-07-21T06:03:10.000Z 2011-07-21 06:03:10 ... a brilliant finish to the series, an action-packed finale with elements of darkness and beautifully integrated moments of humor and heroism.

282638 CJ Johnson Film Mafia Fresh 4/5 2011-07-20T17:54:57.000Z 2011-07-20 17:54:57 This is a massive, tentpole, franchise movie with impeccable good taste -- its most essential, surprising and exhilarating ingredient.

282641 Rubin Safaya Cinemalogue Fresh A- 2011-07-19T18:06:25.000Z 2011-07-19 18:06:25 These films are Campbell's "Hero's Journey"... Star Wars to a generation of kids afraid of being thrust so quickly into adulthood-a reality all too close to home for the post-9/11 generation.

282645 Todd Gilchrist The Hollywood News Fresh — 2011-07-18T23:50:52.000Z 2011-07-18 23:50:52 it's successful at giving its audience the feeling that they have shared an experience with these characters for almost ten years, and that their farewell is bittersweet.
